Holiday Park
Large homes with good value
In Holiday Park, traditional and ranch-style homes occupy most of the neighborhood and were built in the 1970s through the early 2000s. Single-family homes are roomy, featuring three and four bedrooms, spacious back decks and deep front yards. Some townhouse subdivisions offer extra amenities, like community swimming pools and gated security. Homebuyers can expect to pay anywhere from $200,000 to $450,000 for a home in Holiday Park. “It’s an older neighborhood with good value,” says Garland City Councilman for District 7 Dylan Hedrick. “Homes are less expensive than other areas — good for first-time homebuyers.”
From down-home to Vietnamese
For some down-home cooking, residents go to Babe's Chicken Dinner House on North Garland Avenue, which is open for lunch and dinner. Hana Hibachi and Sushi across the street is popular for its theatrical chefs who make the food in front of diners. Target, Walmart and Sam's Club are just up the road, and Firewheel Town Center, with over 110 brand-name department and specialty stores, is less than 4 miles away. Cali Saigon Mall, with its Vietnamese supermarket and Asian food court and shops, is just a few miles west along Belt Line Road, and residents have a Tom Thumb in the northwest corner.
Asian American Heritage Festival
In May, the city of Garland celebrates Asian Pacific American communities at its annual Asian American Heritage Festival at the Winters Park Amphitheater. Visitors can be dazzled by the festival’s colorful world parade and lion dance, craft stalls and traditional performances from Thailand, Laos, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and more.
School choice for families
With Garland’s Independent School District's Choose Your School program, families can choose from International Leadership of Texas-Garland K-8, a charter school that received a C for its elementary school and a C-plus for its middle school from Niche. ILTexas' mission is to prepare students for leadership roles in the international community by mastering English, Spanish and Chinese. ILTexas also offers a high school with a B-plus rating, or families can send their children to Brighter Horizons Academy, a private PK-12 school that scored an A from Niche.Outdoor and indoor recreation
Residents can walk to nearby Winters Park for its soccer and softball complexes, playground and tennis courts. Hawaiian Waters Garland next door features a lazy river, water slides and a 10,000-gallon wave pool. Spring Creek Park Preserve is walkable, too, offering acres of forest and hiking paths. Locals might visit the North Garland Branch Library for the latest bestsellers or test their gaming skills at NickelRama, a nickel arcade. Garland is also rebuilding the recreation and aquatic centers at Holford Park, about a mile south of the neighborhood. “The new recreational facilities will be the largest in the city,” Councilman Hedrick says.

Busing, biking and driving
Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) buses run along North Shiloh Road and Belt Line Road. Cyclists can use the existing bike line on Apollo Road that circles through Winters Park and travels south on Glenbrook Drive toward the city center. The President George Bush Tollway is less than 3 miles away and connects to State Route 75, which goes into Dallas. Residents can also catch DART’s light rail system into Dallas at the Downtown Garland Station.

Temples and churches
Holiday Park is known for its many international faith communities, including the Cao Dai Temple of Garland, a center for the Caodaism faith of South Vietnam; the Mother of Perpetual Help Catholic Parish, a largely Vietnamese Catholic congregation; Open Heavens, a non-denominational church with a strong international involvement; and Winners Chapel International Dallas, a world organization with churches in over 300 cities and towns in Nigeria and 35 nations in Africa, Europe and America.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
